Chapter 1423


    Angeline’s intelligent gaze swept across several women''s faces, and she noticed that their eyes


    were full of unconcealed sneers. She refused to be looked down upon by them, so she pretended to


    be disdainful and said, "These jewelry are fancy-looking, but the material isn''t very good. I can’t


    wear such cheap things once I return to Imperial Capital."


    Whatever Angeline disliked, and it did not matter how good the thing was, Jay would not bat


    another eyelid toward it. He looked away from the silver tter as his mellow voice rang out


    sweetly, "Uncle, do you have any other better jewelry?"


    Spencer was slightly stunned. Jay was a magnificent man, but he was obsessed with these


    materialistic things. It made him seem like he was not up to his own standard.


    Spencer''s thoughts were untimely uttered out loud by his favorite little mistress instead. "I heard


    rumors that Master Ares is the richest man in Imperial Capital. If that''s the case, why can’t Master


    Ares afford this cheap jewelry on his own?"


    Angeline was enraged.


    She found it irritating that this woman was using her words against Jaybie.


    Jay nced at the unkind woman. He asked calmly," Uncle, will you introduce us?"


    "She’s Second Aunt," said Spencer.


    Jay now understood that this woman was able to be s o arrogant because of her status.

    Eldest Aunt was Cole''s mother, and since she became a n anchoress, she was automatically


    withdrawn from the race of obtaining favors from Spencer. Hence, it skyrocketed Second Aunt’s


    status instead. In recent years, she had been in charge of the Yorks'' stronghold’s affairs and was


    akin to the household’s big madam.


    However, it did not matter how high her status was to Jay. She could not change the fact that she


    was a mistress. As a devoted man himself, Jay hated mistresses the most.


    When he retorted, he was no longer kind and there were traces of coldness in his voice. "There’s


    nothing that I can''t afford in this world, nor is there anything I''m not able to buy-except for the things


    that my Angeline likes."


    The expressions of the beautiful mistresses were slightly crumpled.


    They had on beautiful clothes and dazzling jewelry. Hence, when theyid their eyes on Angeline,


    who was dressed in in clothes and had nothing dazzling on her, they looked down on her very


    much. They thought she was dressed too shabbily and felt that the wife of Imperial Capital’s richest


    man was nothing but a mere title.


    Now they knew that the prince was not staring at the silver tter because he was short of money,


    but because the things that Angeline liked were priceless. In order to please his Angeline, the


    Imperial Capital''s prince condescended himself to look at the silver tter.


    They had misunderstood Master Ares from the beginning.


    Spencer smiled and said, "Doomsday is never short of gold and silver. It''s just that many of them


    are in their raw form and unpolished. If you don’t find it too troublesome, JJ, you can go to the back


    mountain to quarry the stones and ask a craftsman to polish them into the finished product. Perhaps


    you’ll encounter a treasure.”


    Angeline felt that quarrying and polishing processes were both troublesome matters. Hence, she


    tactfully persuaded Jay. "Forget it, Jaybie. These are merely worldly things. Let''s not waste your


    time on them."


    Jay narrowed his eyes and looked at Angeline. He saw that there were zero embellishments on her


    ck


    hair, and her smooth swan-like neck was bare. He was somewhat ming himself.


    How could he let his woman appear so shabbily?


    "I have some free time recently, Angeline. I''ll personally design a unique essory for you. Treat it


    a


    s a gift for the new year from me.”


    Angeline’s face was filled with a happy smile." Alright.”


    She tugged at his sleeve and reminded him. "Don''t forget to talk business, Jaybie."


    Jay’s handsome face instantly returned to his regr iceberg expression. His eagle eyes turned to


    face Spencer, and he exuded an aura of alienation almost immediately.


    "I''m here to congratte you today, Uncle." His voice was soft, but the coldness in his tone was


    unbearable. There was a sense of intimidation in it.


    Spencer was vignt, but he deliberately tried to y dumb and asked, "The Yorks Stronghold


    hasn''t received good news in so many years. I wonder what you’re congratting me for, JJ?"
